Don’t Press Stop
Dima, Bogdan and their friends live in Nizhny Tagil, an industrial city in the Urals, with no horizon and no future. Dima is 25 years old, Bodan 19. They both work at the factory, rap in the evening with their friends and go to the countryside on Sundays for some fresh air. Leaving? The question crosses their mind of course, but where go to? By observing them day to day, in the middle of this city that I film as a character, I look for the possible breaths, the resistance to boredom, the flower that rises from concrete.
